Round or Oval?

Round Chainring
The traditional choice for MTB riding, providing predictable pedaling characteristics across climbing, acceleration and technical terrain.

Oval Chainring
Designed to vary the effective gearing through the pedal stroke. It can be a useful option for riders who prefer the pedaling characteristics of an oval chainring, particularly for sustained efforts and climbing.

Choice between round and oval is primarily based on riding style and personal preference.

Important Fitment Note

Please select the correct 3mm or 6mm offset for your bicycle.

Offset directly affects chainline and frame clearance. The incorrect offset may result in poor chain alignment, drivetrain noise, reduced shifting performance, or insufficient frame clearance.

If you are unsure which version your crankset requires, please confirm your exact Shimano crank model and bicycle/frame model before ordering.
